solosuck forums!

I know this is my first post on here, and I know not everybody is going to agree with me, but let me tell you the TRUTH about sucking your own dick.

You are hurting your back, severely - every single time you so much as TRY to suck yourself off.

That is the absolute truth. Sure, it may seem fun, exciting, or hot to suck yourself off at will, but the end result is a LIFELONG back injury with pain that never goes away. I've never personally sucked my own dick, but my brother has sucked his own dick, and watching him struggle in life with his back injury he got from sucking himself off has been nothing less than horrible.

That being said, my brother told me privately one day a few years ago that he had been sucking his own dick between 2005 and 2007 (when he was in his 20's) and I couldn't believe it. I thought he was smarter than that, but he said "I couldn't find a woman, and I figured I'd do things my own way". Due to him sucking his own dick, he ended up with multiple painful disc herniations in his upper and middle spine. As a result, he had to leave his job in order to deal with his back injury, and was told by at least one doctor that he would have to have a surgery that has a 50% chance of killing him on the operating table (or soon thereafter) in order to repair the damage done by sucking himself off.

Over the intervening years between 2007 (when he stopped for good) and when he "ended" himself a few years ago due to the pain of his injury being so severe, he was out tens of thousands of dollars in chiropractic and other medical care in hopes of regaining a normal life. He did numerous shots for pain under different doctors, he took countless medications for pain, and nothing seemed to work.

PLEASE, don't be like my brother and make yourself suffer for a little sexual pleasure. It's NOT worth it. You are killing your back, killing your future, and killing yourself to suck your own dick. Just don't do it.

If I can discourage at least ONE guy from starting this horrible back injury process, or if I can encourage at least ONE guy to stop sucking himself off, this post will all have been worth making, because I don't want to see anyone else suffer as my brother has.

That being said, if you want to self pleasure, and have a dick long enough (~7") like mine, do autoanal, it's far better than breaking your back for a little bit of self pleasure. I've been into autoanal for a couple of years now and it's been great.(( No, I won't be posting pictures of myself with my dick up my own ass, but suffice it to say, it's better to do autoanal than end up like my brother.))

I hope this is a wake up call to everyone into self sucking. If I get flamed or banned for this post, so be it, so long as it reaches one person at least who needs discouraged from needlessly injuring their own back FOR LIFE.

We're waiting for a guy whose brother was injured during autoanal.

This is a little frustrating to read. You absolutely speak from the heart, so I’m sure no one here can really be angry at your pain about your brother’s story. I really hate reading how someone has hurt themselves in this way. For one it really reinforces the old taboos and beliefs we’ve had to hear about personal injury, sexuality, low morality, and general perversion that’s always been associate with self-sucking. Hopefully your brother has been able to keep the origin of his injuries private. Apologies here ahead of my post but I didn’t read anything about a failed yoga or pre-stretch/loosening up program though.
Not to say at all that your brother failed to do something or do it adequately, or pushed his body beyond its ability, so please don’t think I’m suggesting this. Guys, in general should never self-suck without developing and adopting a solid stretching routine before every session and should never “suck themselves off at will”. Doing so risks injuring yourself immediately or slowly over time. You have to do your own due diligence in researching yoga and/or stretching program that works best for your body type so you’ll achieve a comfortable, and safe self-suck session.

The really important thing though is that you MUST stick to a program religiously prior to every session. You can’t just decide while masturbating that, “I think I’ll roll over into the Plow now and finish by sucking myself to orgasm!” Don’t get me wrong, I have done this, more than a few times. The reality is that most of us aren’t gifted with effortless flexibility like some of the younger guys who can flip into the X at will. Most of us have to work up to achieving an optimal position over the course of the day. For me it’s like planning for a hot date where I know sex is definitely going to occur. Every time I’ve ever cheated on pre-stretch I’ve either made the session much more uncomfortable than it should have been and finished up gasping for breath and sweating like a pig after an orgasm, or I’ve outright pulled a muscle or tendon (thigh, groin/gracilis, trapezius, pectoral, tricep, etc.) and yeah, most likely risked a spinal-related injury.

I’ve been self-sucking regularly for a little over 12 years now since I was 17 and have learned painfully through a lot of trial and error that you have to learn a little about how your body works anatomically and how to make it work for you to maximize your personal sexual pleasure. Everyone’s body is different and requires a different program that focuses on critical, most at-risk muscle groups and tendons. Injuries occur when vertebrae work against tight muscles or when they’re pushed beyond a safe angle they haven’t been adequately prepped for. Most of the posts here revolve around the pleasure, the magic, and the zen aspect of autofellatio, and it is awesome, but not enough threads focus on safety and the pre-stretch workout because that’s the boring part that allows us to do it the right way. Everyone see’s all the videos and pics on the internet of guys who seem to effortlessly deepthroat themselves to a hot orgasm, but what they don’t see is the 30-60 minutes of Downward-Facing Dogs and Cat-Cows and Pigeon Poses, and Triangles and pelvic thrust reps and the 6-8 additional stretches we’ve adopted and modified to our personal “program” to safely and comfortably give ourselves great head. When you do it right self-sucking is just as safe as any yoga pose and all the same rules apply (If it hurts, stop!, Don‘t bounce!, etc.). Anyway, off the soapbox now and best regards for your brothers’ health!

I'm glad other people are replying. I've wanted to reply but don't want to make light of someone else's story.

But I agree the story is jarring because it conjures the old taboos and beliefs. Selfsucking for me is a beautiful, erotic, sexual, and emotional enactment of my desire. I've been selfsucking for over 30 years. I'm 44 now and had definitely throated my cock before I was 14. I've pulled muscles, for sure, but I've always been warmed up and felt prepared.

There are many threads on this discussion board about proper stretching and breathing. Those are more informative.

Autofellatio is a beautiful experience when it is done properly.
